Malaysia-based Geo Alam Environmental Sdn Bhd has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China-based Sinoma International Environment Engineering Company Limited (SIEE) and CBMI Construction Co Ltd to jointly develop integrated waste management infrastructure across Malaysia.
The partnership aims to reduce dependence on landfills by processing municipal, industrial, construction, and hazardous waste into alternative fuels and raw materials. The companies will co-invest in and operate the facilities, with the outputs expected to serve the cement and other industrial sectors.
Geo Alam, a subsidiary of YTL Cement Group, will provide local expertise and regulatory insight, while SIEE and CBMI will contribute technical knowledge gained from over six decades of work in the environmental and cement sectors. The facilities are expected to support Malaysia’s decarbonisation and circular economy goals through scalable and sustainable solutions.
